A Literary Cat for Every Day of the Year

<B>A literary treasure trove of poems, stories and quotes for cat lovers.</B><BR/><BR/><B>"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much."</B><BR/> ― Mark Twain<BR/><BR/> Cats and literature go together like tea and cake. It's not that you can't have one without the other, but there is a certain rightness to the pairing. Writers have chosen many animal companions over the years - often dogs, sometimes a raven (Charles Dickens) or, most oddly, a wombat (Dante Gabriel Rossetti) - but perhaps the most common is the cat.<BR/><BR/> From <I>Six Dinner Sid</I> and T.S. Eliot's rebellious Rum Tum Tugger to the infuriating Cheshire Cat of Wonderland and Behemoth the Cat, the demonic shapeshifter of Bulgakov's <I>The Master and Margarita,</I> <I>A Literary Cat for Every Day of the Year</I> draws together quotes and passages from poems and stories in celebration of the most famous cats in literature.<BR/><BR/> A must-have for all cat-lovers and book lovers, this inspirational collection is the perfect gift for feline fans to treasure all year long.
